DUDE FUCK REYNOLD like for fucking real!!!! Never bothered asking! All he knew was just that Penelope wanted Yvonne to stay away! He didn't know jack shit! Yeah now how about you stay there in your dumbass attic and feel bad all on your own. Maybe take your brother and father with you. Maybe then y'all can repent a little bit

Thank you for the translation! I enjoyed reading this greatly!
I typed a whole thesis of a comment and didnāt wanna force anyone to scroll past my rambling, so itās hidden under a spoiler tag even though none of it would count as a spoiler I think, hope thatās okay.
I really appreciate the lengths the author goes to to show how peoples traumas shape their actions. Penelope interesting and understandable from a readers POV but ultimately unlikeable. Itās a more realistic outcome for a girl raised in poverty transplanted into nobility to be āimpoliteā and lash out rather than demure and sweet and intelligent and kind and winning everyoneās hearts, lol. I wonder if thatās the part Yvonne is going to play once she debuts in the story.
Penelope and Siyeon are two different characters with similar circumstances, so I like how Siyeon was transplanted into Penelopeās body. Itās almost like some higher power saw her playing the game and was like āyouāre the only one with the experience/tools/mindset to handle this mess.ā The flashbacks we get of MCās original life are limited but it makes me wonder if Penelopeās āhave an outburstā style would have worked better with Siyeonās family instead of her own ābecome a recluseā reaction.
That āI was only a 12 year old childā line hit hard and Iām really glad the author included it. Itās a reflection of a real-world problem a lot of people in their early 20ās are grappling with. If ur still mad at someone for what they did as a kid arenāt you actually mad at a 12 year old for acting 12? How pathetic is that? We all have to sort it out for ourselves.
I do kind of like Reynardās character coming from a point of understanding he lost his mom and his little sister. Itās understandable to be wary of a new step parent, especially after hours has died, but that same feeling directed at a little girl if oof ouch my heart. āYouāre not my real sisterā but sheās a child and canāt raise above or do anything about her situation, and she has no percents to lean on or support her. Reynard didnāt have anyone to help process the complicated feelings he was having either. This whole time Iāve been reading Ive been getting steadily more and more mad at their father. for whatever reason he didnāt mediate bringing Penelope into the family at ALL and thatās the root 90% of the problems here.
I hope we see more of the prince next season just for bias reasons, lol.

I read the novel b4 it got taken down and she's projecting her personal memories onto the game's family. So technically she's lying since those weren't Penelope's memories. The Duke picked her from the alley while exhausted looking for his missing daughter. Her memory of her dead mom and her father showing up to take her away is the original fucked up life.
Its one of the things I hated about the novel. She can't stop herself from projecting her old family onto her new family when it's clear they are significantly better than her old family. They got flaws but it's not as bad as her old one.

Unfortunately the translated novel got taken before I could finish reading the novel so I don't know if her father from her old life is her real dad or if it's just a dude that felt pity for the child of the woman he was fooling around with outside of his family.

Such a good ending!! I got actual chills during this chapter!
A speechless Reynold is such a good sight to see. I donāt here him, but Iād be lying if I said that I wasnāt cheering on Penny to finally snap and give him a piece of her mind. You go girl!!
As for her dialogue... I actually have a theory that while she says that she made it up, she mightāve actually been remembering things, since her dialogue saying āthis is not my lifeā sound pretty much like denial speech 101 for me.
Like other people said here, she might just be projecting things from her life in Korea here, however I donāt think in the modern world she wouldāve lived with her mothers decaying corpse...? Also didnāt her biological father picked her up as her motherās last wish? How could that have happened if she were living with a corpse? Idk, I might be remembering things wrong.
Thank you for translating this series!
